And just one last item on the Knicks

Partially torn labrum -- Carmelo Anthony.  Surgery to follow.

Not an excuse, exactly, but I've had shoulder troubles and it is amazing how much it hurts.  Playing NBA playoff basketball while having a torn labrum is an accomplishment.  And I don't care it it was his non-shooting arm -- I appreciate Melo sucking it up for the team regardless.

Rumors that JR Smith -- my main man -- was hurt too, although details have yet to emerge.

All this is presented only to keep you current, not as whinging.
